Hi all. I’m building a kitchen ceiling with a bunch of 5 W dimmable LED spots. I’ve got a Fibaro Dimmer 2 that works on my demo chassis. I would like to **find a rotating dimmer button/potentiometer that will manage Fibaro dimmer.** Ideally I would like to block the switch off function, so that the Fibaro dimmer stays powered and can react to flows on sensor triggers etc. I looked online but for the most part there are “simple” Gira or universal dimmers, ie not smart and quite expensive as well. NOTE - If someone knows a smart solution without Fibaro, but with a rotary dimmer I’d like to know as well. - there are swing switches that dim while you hold them down, I tried it and it’s no intuitive, especially for non-geeks : ) ---

ROBB Shop sells several types: [https://www.robbshop.nl/#sqr:(q[Draaidimmer])](https://www.robbshop.nl/#sqr:(q%5BDraaidimmer%5D)) Depending on the load you might need a bypass: [https://www.robbshop.nl/dimmer-bypass-robb-smarrt?sqr=Bypass&](https://www.robbshop.nl/dimmer-bypass-robb-smarrt?sqr=Bypass&) Good luck! ---

Thank you @G.P_Bruins for the detailed list : ) 1 I was wondering if there is a rotary dimmer for Fibaro Dimmer 2 in the first place. How do most people control lights on the switch with Fibaro attached? With some external dimmer via homey, incurring a dealy ? Hopefully not with a phone : ) 2 What apps can control those ROBB SMARRT dimmers, is it _Hue Zigbee_? If yes, this the app concerns me, because there are multiple issues with devices not working any more. I had to reconnect all hue dimmers via Hue bridge == 2 sec delay : ( See my previous posts on details. Do you know if _Athom’s Hue_ app will support those rotary dimmers? They are too expensive to sit about as on/off switches : ) 3 Does someone have experience with ZIGBEE ECODIM dimmer and the app? How stable are they? ---

I have one Ecodim (Zigbee +Zwave) installed and really like it! No lag, large dim range, no buzz/noice. Installation is easy and fits many frames.
